Environment minister Miquel Mir stated on Thursday that the coastal cleaning service in the Balearics had, by Tuesday this week, collected 64.1 tonnes of waste this year. Almost half of this, 31 tonnes, was plastic. He went on to explain that since 2004, which is when the service started, 2,237 tonnes of waste have been collected. Just over 30% of this - 703 tonnes - has been plastic.
